Heritage

The Heritage dossier is an important endeavor for Saint-Antoine. Our Village counts more than 175 years of history. We are committed to keeping the memory of events in the area alive so they may continue to inspire us in the future. This work is carried out for the most part by the Committee for Historical and Heritage Conservation that has been established by the Municipality.
